From the AJN:

Holocaust denier to face charges
PETER KOHN

HOLOCAUST-DENIER Dr Frederick Toben will likely be charged with contempt of court later this week for continuing to deny the Holocaust on his Adelaide Institute website.

The AJN understands Dr Toben returned to Australia this week from Iran, where he attended a state-sponsored conference on Holocaust denial late last month. The conference had the support of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has called for Israel’s destruction.

In 2002, a Federal Court judge ordered Dr Toben to remove Holocaust-denial material from his Adelaide Institute website, an order he appears to have failed to obey.

A representative of Dr Toben’s Adelaide Institute told the AJN that Dr Toben was expected to return from Tehran Wednesday.

While in Tehran, Dr Toben, who served six months in a German prison in 1999 for inciting racism, told the Tehran Times, which supports the Ahmadinejad regime, that the Nazi extermination of six-million Jews and the existence of gas chambers has not been proven.

Executive Council of Australian Jewry president Grahame Leonard said that legal proceedings against Dr Toben would begin as soon the 62 year old returned to Australia.

Other Australians who attended the Tehran conference included socialite Michele Renouf and ACT air services worker Richard Krege.
